Looking for some Help with a 2026 Mach-E Premium Lease

, , ,

Good morning,

I am located in Illinois and am coming to the end of a lease on my 2024 Mach-E Select and am considering Leasing a 2026 Mach-E Premium

the Dealer Numbers are -

36/10k - 499/mo with 5500 total DAS

MSRP - 57,240

Sell Price - 51,000

Rebate - 2500

Capitalized Taxes - 1,888

Gross Cap Cost - 54,411.63

Cash Cap Reduction - 5,000

Capo Cost Reduction - 7,500

Adjusted Cap Cost - 46,911.63

DAS - 5,500.63

Money Factor: 0.000521 / 1.25% APR

Residual: 53%

Question that I do have is are there any other incentives that should be available here. The dealer has been resistant on providing a breakdown of incentives. Dealer states that this is a rock-bottom deal and so far no other dealer has gotten close to meeting or beating it. Payment-wise most tap out with payments in the mid 5’s to low 6’s

Here are the closest Approximations of the deal using the Leasehackr calculator - The first thing that you’ll notice is that I can’t seem to

36/10k

IDK why you’d even consider this

Can you tell me what parts of the deal make it bad? I’m trying to understand leasing better so I don’t make the same mistakes as this guy.

I’m considering leasing a Mach-E Premium - not necessarily at these terms. I’m trying to understand why most 10 or so dealers in my area seem to be loath to lease one of these cars for less 650 to 700.month without substantial money due at signing. And why competing dealers are telling me to jump on this deal because they wouldn’t even try to match it let alone beat it.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that this is a good deal or likely not even a fair deal, just trying to understand why other dealers have no interest in even trying to compete and I’d like to see what a realistic fair/good deal on a Mach-E Premium AWD-Ex looks like so I have a better idea what to shoot for.

Have you checked @LightningAuto spreadsheet in the marketplace to use as a benchmark?

Hello there, I’m looking at the Ford website, and even them advertise a better deal on it https://www.ford.com/suvs/mach-e/incentives-and-offers/?intcmp=vhp-cta-io

Also, you should check the Signed Deals & Tips and Tag “Ford” to see what others are signing, for example SIGNED! 2026 Mustang Mach E Premium AWD 36/7500, $550+tax - $1527 DAS

If you are not sure on the incentives become a Super Supporter or check Edmunds Forums to be sure about it.

In my short experience, I would say that is not a good car for lease right now since I don’t see to many people getting them.

Also, a good way to try to get a good discount on an unit, use Visor.vin, checked there units that had been on the lot for a long time!

This is a bad deal, mostly because the dealer isn’t throwing in any meaningful cap cost reduction. They are just providing you with the Ford Power Promise Rebate (2K - which doesn’t come for their pocket) and maybe 500 on top.

You gotta negotiate a discount on the selling price ABOVE AND BEYOND incentives. Those are just icing on the cake. If they won’t play ball, walk. Key is finding a car that’s sitting on the lot for a while…if you can get one 180+ days that’s where I’ve gotten the best deals because they are paying interest on that car while it sits gathering dust and quickly becoming last years model…

Can you help me understand. Looks like they are taking $6240.00 off of the MSRP or almost 11%. This isn’t a cap reduction? How did they get from 57k to 51k based on this guy’s calculator?

As show in the OP, there is a cap cost reduction, but the OP is paying it w/5500 DAS (due at signing). That 499/mo payment goes up to 652/mo. IT would be a good deal if the DEALER was taking 5500 off the price of the car.

AWD (+1% on residual) or RWD?

What is the payoff on the 2024 and ACV/MMR? Buyout and keep the 24 should be a consideration if you’re going to spend $23,464 to drive a 26 for 3 years.

Consider becoming a LH super supporter to check Rate Finder. I see: multiple types of Conquest, EV public charging, $1000 RCL bonus for you for coming out of a Ford lease into another (“always on”), there a loads of private offers and bonus cash.

Thank you!

The numbers are atrocious. Look at any deal in Signed Deals & Tips and tell me the OP’s deal looks anywhere remotely as good as those.

And a lot of cars have terrible RV/MF (buyrate) structures. It doesn’t matter how much you negotiate, those are set in stone.

Hacking is all about being opportunistic. Pick the car with the best RV/MF that works for you.

Yeah It is a consideration, my buyout is ~$30,300.00 I was exploring the Premiums because they have a bunch of additional features that I’d like to have that my current Select doesn’t have. My Select is AWD/ER

Just heard from the dealer that Ford moved the MF on a 36/10k lease to 2.25% Haven’t been able to independently verify that yet.
